{"product_id":"vanessa-wagner_study-of-the-invisible_2022_lba","title":"Study of the invisible","description":"If there is one constant with Vanessa Wagner, it is her versatility — in the sense that Anglo-Saxons understand it. Alongside her career as a musician performing the great solo, chamber, and concerto repertoire on stages around the world (and recording it for the label La Dolce Volta), the pianist whom Le Monde calls \"the most delightfully singular pianist of her generation\" and whom Libération describes as \"one of the most curious and captivating pianists on the French scene\" treads equally personal, yet perhaps more intimate, paths with the collaboration of the label InFiné. After Statea in 2016, a duo with electronic musician Murcof, she now continues with Study Of The Invisible the journey begun on her solo album Inland (2019). A journey that sees her exploring this repertoire which she is, in France and even Europe, practically the only \"classical\" pianist to tackle. A contemporary and timeless repertoire that one might, for brevity's sake, call \"minimalist,\" but which in reality covers a multitude of unique universes and often extraordinary musical personalities, across all generations.\n\nTo compose this program, Vanessa Wagner has delved deeper into her fascinating work of discovery begun with Inland, assembling rare pieces that weave a mysterious story among themselves. Among the 15 stations that make up this thrilling journey, the United States takes the lion's share. Under the patronage of Moondog, the blind and visionary Viking, whose very \"Bachian\" Prelude in A major from 1961 constitutes the oldest piece on the album, rub shoulders the icons of minimalism — the essential Philip Glass, the unclassifiable Harold Budd, pope of ambient music, the representatives of the first generation of \"post-minimalists\" — Peter Garland, David Lang, or Julia Wolfe, born in the 1950s — and the younger guard: Bryce Dessner (The National), Nico Muhly, Timo Andres, born between 1976 and 1985. But also some choice outsiders: Suzanne Ciani, better known (everything is relative) as a pioneer of electronic music, or the astonishing Caroline Shaw, who in 2013, at age 31, was the youngest winner of the Pulitzer Prize, and whose universe freely moves between \"art\" and \"popular\" music. Equally unclassifiable appear the works and careers of the Italian Ezio Bosso, the Frenchman Melaine Dalibert, or, of course, the brothers Brian and Roger Eno, other musicians from between worlds.","brand":"Vanessa Wagner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57475779330392,"sku":null,"price":20220325.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/3516628375712.jpg?v=1780958154","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/vanessa-wagner_study-of-the-invisible_2022_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
